Science Reporter

Philosophy

Science journalism is an art form — where research becomes a story. A probe landing on the surface of
mars is transformed into an epic journey where its last three minutes leave the reader on the edge of his
seat. Climate change is a tale of scientists who are willing to fly into wildfire plumes. The Higgs boson is not just a newly discovered particle, but a window
into a different realm. Science journalism allows room for creativity. But while it is important to
engage the reader, it is crucial to do so accurately.

As human beings we're drawn to the inner-workings of subatomic particles, the search for
other life forms and the opaque gas enshrouding the big bang. Journalism has the power
to unwrap and elucidate scientific results in a compelling and accurate way. As a freelance
science journalist, I have published hundreds of stories. I'm also a freelance editor and photographer.

I have always felt the need to travel — to explore the world and in doing so come to better
understand myself. In 2017, I had the opportunity to travel to Ethiopia on an assignment for Discover Magazine. There I witnessed the
break-up of Africa. For personal travel, I have explored countries in North America, South America,
Europe, Africa and southeast Asia. And I always have another trip on the horizon.
